Workshop: Remix your Songwriting with Bridget Walsh
When you’re a musician or artist, the act of creating can be a very valuable tool in helping to share and process experiences and emotions, heartaches and triumphs and all sorts of stories inbetween. Sometimes you’re writing for a specific purpose, a specific show, a specific brief or a specific band - sometimes you’re writing for the joy, the healing or simply just for you. And some days, the creative flow comes a lot more naturally than others…
In this 90 minute workshop, international touring artist, bandleader and composer, Bridget Walsh (@lovefrombridget), will guide you through some different ways you can approach and change up your songwriting - whether it’s to help shift a writer’s block, to get a fresh perspective, or simply just for the fun of trying something new with your craft. The workshop is open to musicians at all stages of their songwriting journeys, but will be most valuable for those with an interest in lyric-writing and storytelling with words - even if this workshop is your first time doing it!
For 16 - 21 year olds
